Why don't you explain it? I'm a white guy -- I've not had it directed at me. You as you said before aren't. Probably would be helpful in context to discuss your own experiences too.

Exactly, so you have no idea what racism feels like. So you are in no position to tell anyone what is or isnt racist. The irony of all this is that you are the racist. The idea that one race needs another to "defend" us because we are weak, reeks of superiority.

Where certain ethnic groups are in a minority, it may be necessary for the majority to stand up for them in certain circumstances. I don’t see that as racist, more common decency. Supporting someone does not suggest they are too weak to stand up for themselves.

Why are you lashing out?

I simply asked YOU to define it.

Why don't you?

Seems silly to suggest because I haven't experienced it I can't determine it. What I can't do is downplay someone's experience of it, which I'm not.

So, let me see if I understand your position:

If you are white, and don’t defend the rights and dignity of non-white people, you are racist.

If you are white, and do defend the rights and dignity of non-white people, you are racist.

Is that a correct understanding?
